A "dl" element is block level element that can be used to define a definition list, where items are displayed with leading terms. Here are basic rules about "dl" elements:
- "dl" elements are block level elements.
- "dl" elements can not have text contents.
- An "dl" element must have one or more pairs of "dt" and "dd" elements as sub-elements.
- Each pair of "dt" and "dd" elements will be displayed by browsers as a term and a definition.
Below is a good tutorial example of "dl" elements:
<?xml version="1.0" ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Definition Lists</title> </head> <body> <p>Acronyms:</p> <dl> <dt>CSS</dt><dd>Cascading Style Sheet</dd> <dt>DTD</dt><dd>Document Type Definition</dd> <dt>WWW</dt><dd>World Wide Web</dd> <dt>XML</dt><dd>eXtensible Markup Language</dd> </dl> </body> </html>
If you save the above document as definition_list.html, and view it with
Internet Explorer, you will see a list of items with leading terms
as shown below:
